Korean Ceramic Faceted Blue and White Bottle Vase Joseon Dynasty

About the Item

A Korean blue and white long neck vase in bottle form with octagonal faceted surface from Joseon Dynasty (19th century). The elegant vase is covered in a white glaze with a tint of celadon blue. It prominently features two large archaic-form Hanja (Chinese) characters: Longevity and Wealth. The underglaze inscription was written in a dark shade of cobalt, each set in a petalled-shape cartouche double blue line. This type of bottle was used traditionally to hold liquor such as wine, probably in a wealthy aristocratic household, on the occasion of banquets. The octagonal form coupled with decoration by the minimalistic inscriptions makes this bottle attractive. There is some patina on the glaze that appears to be due to the stain of the liquor seeping through the vase from long-term use. The vase was from a Japanese collection and comes with a later tomobako storage box. For a blue and white bowl from the same period that has the identical inscription of the characters, see item no c.84-1390. Illustrated on plate 35 on page 84 in the book by McKillop, "Korean Art and Design". For inscribed bottle in similar form, see B64P30 in the collection of Asian Art Musuem in San Francisco.

Korean Ceramic Faceted Wine Bottle Vase Joseon Dynasty
Located in Atlanta, GA
A Korean ceramic bottle with octagonal faceted form with underglaze copper red decoration. The robust bottle with the long neck and a relatively thick built was used to hold liquor such as wine and it was from Joseon dynasty, likely late period (circa mid-late 19th century). The bottle was covered in a milky white glaze with a pleasant warm yellow tint. It has an underglaze iron red paint of branches of gingko leaves on the front and the back side. The color was oxidated into an ochre brown hue instead of iron red. The octagonal form extends nicely from the opening to the base, continuing through the body and makes this bottle geometrically interesting. The rustic paint of the gingko leaves also render the piece a folky modern appeal. For three faceted wine bottles from different period of Joseon Dynasty, see illustration 2, 71 and 73 of "Five Centuries of Korean Ceramics Pottery and Porcelains of the Yi Dynasty...
